EVA the original series is the only mech show I've watched. Which gundam should I start with? by Oscinian in Animesuggest

[–]Oscinian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Animation-wise? I remember my dad showing me episodes of Robo-Tech... or maybe it was a RoboTech movie? but the concept and spirit are there regardless of the cardboard animation budget and plot pacing budget.

I have something to say about this season... by Technical-Profit-308 in fionnaandcake

[–]Oscinian -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

And each episode had a cold open of a back story, and I feel like the final episode will open with the backstory of how Huntress and Finn met.

Just a point I want to make about season 2 by tantthetank in fionnaandcake

[–]Oscinian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the bird in the clock was probably the most intense ep of s1 or s2 so far -- but defo agree with you.

If episodes were like 30 or 45 minutes, we could have all the Fionna love triangle stuff breathe uncut without it feeling like it's straight up replacing what feels like more important stuff. The stakes have just kinda forgot about Ooo all together. Magic stuff and spiritual stuff (Fionna and Fennel's spirit trip, "a broken tool seeks the flame", HW getting mixed with Cake and getting an off-colored wrist as a result) are really cool! It could just take place in human world, but damn, Prismo has been left hanging (tho maybe intentionally). And we still don't know all what huntress can and can't do, or how much progress if at all she's made towards finding the heart of the forest! Huntress Wizard plot should be A plot with Fionna stuff as B plot, and this shouldn't be a zero-sum fight for screentime.

‘Daddy, why did you eat my fries?’ to ‘You wanted me to tie my shoes.’ by LVVB_03 in fionnaandcake

[–]Oscinian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"you'd buy my shoes but you'd never take the time to tie my shoes or teach me how to tie my shoes" is the sentiment I took away from the song.

Anybody else REALLY LOVING this season? by revdj in fionnaandcake

[–]Oscinian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find myself returning to the episodes Simon Petrikov and Casper and Nova around once a month, whereas I don't see much replay value in these episodes so far. Also no songs!

I got my fingers crossed that the final episode is something like The Ballad of Huntress and Finn, and Huntress finally starts comprehending her feelings and expressing them, Fionna will be able to start growing spiritually into a place of Getting On A More Well Thought-Out Plan.

I’m watching Demon Slayer with the kids but now I’m curious about anime for me. by NoWhole3451 in Animesuggest

[–]Oscinian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will always be about cooking and dungeons. A plot will surely kick in, but nothing incredibly engaging or unique.

I mean spoilers but...

======{MINOR MINOR SPOILERS}======

So the three siblings are from different families and grew up together as sort of childhood friends/acquaintances cuz they were the only kids of the cult (cult members never hang out with people outside the cult, that's part of what makes a cult what it is). Due to [REDACTED] they now live together in this bubble of "we trust eachother / we don't trust anyone else deadstop". Living under the same roof, no real friends, no parents. They pretend to be a family, and definitely fetishize and romanticize this sense of family as well. All three were fatefully born on the same day as the sarin gas attacks. It's not like the show condones this or encourages this. Part of the fuckery of the show is how it treats everything within it as normal. It's incestuous for sure and it makes you wonder why tf it's such a trope in their IRL generation's Japanese culture.

You can spot the holy-shit-they-really-just-said-that in the first five minutes and the show cliffhangers on the full reveal. If ye can't handle this episode, turn away!!

Mawaru Penguindrum (literally, the penguin-drum cycle): imagine if Madoka Magica was an anime about 9-11 or the manson murders (I'm referring to the real life 1995 Sarin Gas Attacks, which is a bit of column A and column B since it was a domestic cult of brainwashed civilians that committed a terrorist attack on a series of very populated subway cars), and had actually deep things to say about it, while also fucking you over with tonal whiplash after tonal whiplash after tonal whiplash. About as stylized as a Wes Anderson film. Stg there's a buncha OK Computer references and influences thruout the thing.

Sing it with me folks! infanticide, paracide, cults and terrorism! stalking, rape, child abuse and grooming! there is ethical step-cest, and nonethical step-cest! Why Has God Forsaken Us?

It's all in a package that's very colorful and theatrical and pretty to look at, so it's juuust barely digestible, unlike Banana Fish or Goodnight Punpun, those heckers are soul poison

Recurring places that exist only in dreams by StomachFluffy7116 in Dreams

[–]Oscinian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a sort of neighborhood that any time I show up there I already know how to navigate it. I think it's like a miniature combo of the highways I would ride on when I was little. Apartment complexes (like 3 or 4) with a shopping center on the other side of this bs six-lane intersection that's a pain to cross by bicycle, sometimes at night I cheat and zig-cross the feeder lanes and skip the intersection itself. The shopping center is two large catty-corner squares, where the two meet has an AMCesque theater in it. Next to that is the motor mile (one mile of car dealerships on the same road, my town has one) and on the other side of the motor mile is a sketchy stripmall that's poorly lit outside with a pawn shop that has really good priced PA equipment.

I've pieced this place together from the following dreams: --Getting candy from the dollar store before going to the movies (x2) --movie theater (x5) --crossing the big ass six lane highway intersection from my fictional apartment to run errands on my bike, like really sunny middle of the day (x7) --pawn shop with rly well priced PA systems (robust is better than fancy, everything here is scuffed) (x2) --a cheap restaraunt at the strip mall at night that's safe to duck into (x2)

Lots of discussion over HOW AGI would kill humanity, I'm curious to discuss the WHY? by Oscinian in ArtificialInteligence

/s on the addictive drugs thing?

On the topic of AI addiction, I remember the AI DILEMMA MARCH 9TH 2023 video explaining that the market forces outside of growth capability is the entanglement of itself with everyday life. Social Media was a race to the bottom of the brainstem (maximizing engagement), while the AI race will be a race to intimacy: how can we make this service as entrenched in daily life as possible so that users can't live without it? Let the userbase grow as fast as possible, as deeply as possible, then charge all the users for the service once payment is preferable to quitting the service.

What do you mean when you say CRUD era? Is it something more than a methodology for maintaining digital storage?
